Starting with a daily divination to build an immortal clan

Chapter 112 Transformation into a Dragon
When Li Heshan and several disciples from Hundred Beasts Mountain rushed to that area, they saw that the mountain range, which was hundreds of feet in diameter, had been blasted into a bottomless crater by lightning!

The rocks have turned to scorched earth, and the ancient trees around them, hundreds of years old, are burning fiercely!

Elder Ji!

"Elder!"

"Master!"

He and the others from Hundred Beasts Mountain searched the area carefully.

"Ahem! Ahem!"

Familiar coughing sounds could be faintly heard from the pile of rocks not far away.

Li Heshan rushed forward, channeled his spiritual power, and with a wave of his hand, sent all the hundred-pound boulders flying. Finally, he found Ji Yan's figure in the pile of rocks.

At this moment, Ji Yan's hair was disheveled, his body was charred black, and his magic robe, which was of the level of a magic artifact, was tattered. Blood was constantly oozing from the corner of his mouth.

Elder Ji!

"Brother!"

Pei Yuwan, who arrived shortly afterward, also came to the vicinity.

"At this!"

Li Heshan called out and carefully removed a few pieces of rubble from Ji Yan's body, then bent down to help him up.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Ji Yan was weak and limp, clearly suffering from a serious injury.

Pei Yuwan came to his side, and the two of them helped him walk outside.

"Wait a moment!"

At this moment, several disciples from Hundred Beasts Mountain also gathered over and blocked their way.

"May I ask, Senior Ji, do you know how my elders from Hundred Beasts Mountain are doing now?"

Ji Yan shook his head slightly, as if he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Sensing the disordered spiritual energy within him, Li Heshan immediately looked at the group from Hundred Beasts Mountain and said, "Elder Ji's injuries are too severe. I need to take him back to heal as soon as possible. Please step aside."

The disciples of Hundred Beasts Mountain exchanged glances but did not make way.

"Senior Ji and several elders from Hundred Beasts Mountain worked together to break the formation. Now that such a change has occurred, please be sure to inform the elders what has happened!"

They had been searching the surrounding area for a long time, but the elders of Hundred Beasts Mountain were nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead.

As soon as the man finished speaking, Ji Yan, who was being supported by Li Heshan, suddenly changed his expression again and vomited a large amount of blood!

"Go...quickly...take this old man away from Yangnao...land..."

Ji Yan looked pained and managed to utter a single sentence.

Sensing that their aura was gradually weakening, Li Heshan became anxious and disregarded everything else. He directly waved his sleeve and unleashed a surge of spiritual power, sending several disciples of the Hundred Beasts Mountain flying!
He picked up Ji Yan and flew towards the foot of the mountain!
The other disciples from the immortal sects who rushed over looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this situation.

"How could Senior Ji of Qiyun Valley have suffered such serious injuries?"

"Could it be that he was struck by the lightning just now?"

"Impossible! The power of that lightning was too terrifying. If Senior Ji had been hit directly, he probably wouldn't even have been left with a corpse!"

"However, could this sudden change in the world be because the hiding place of the dragon corpse has been found?"

"Very likely! Let's go check it out right away!"

With this speculation in mind, the disciples of the immortal sects rushed toward the crater blasted out by the lightning!

"Senior sister, should we go over and take a look?"

Behind Wei Qiuling, Yu Jin and other disciples from Luoxia Mountain were eager to try.

They were afraid that if they arrived too late, all the good stuff would be snatched up by others.

Wei Qiuling did not speak.

Her gaze drifted into the distance, noticing that Qiyun Valley's flying artifact, the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the barrier.

"Sister?"

Yu Jin came up and called out softly.

Wei Qiuling snapped out of her daze, turned around and looked at the many immortal sect disciples rushing forward, pondered for a moment, shook her head and said, "We won't join in the fun."

"The lightning just now was a bit strange. Let's leave first."

The people from Luoxia Mountain looked at her with some resentment in their eyes.

However, as the senior disciple of Luoxia Mountain and the sect leader's personal disciple, Wei Qiuling's wishes could not be disobeyed by the others, so they could only follow her down the mountain.

As soon as the group arrived at the foot of the mountain, they felt a sudden increase in oppressive power from the dark, heavy clouds overhead!
In an instant, a large number of dense bolts of lightning fell from the sky, all striking the spot from before.

Upon seeing this, Yu Jin immediately shrank back in fright.

The others also looked lingering fear.

With the sheer density of the lightning, everything in that area must have been reduced to dust!
If Wei Qiuling hadn't made them come down... the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"It's over. Those immortal sects are probably heartbroken now."

Yu Jin watched the dense lightning bolts fall with a hint of schadenfreude, as if he could already foresee the fate of the other immortal sect disciples.

It should be noted that the Twelve Immortal Sects have established a rule prohibiting experts at the Fetal Breathing Realm from interfering in matters concerning the Yangnao Land.

The Twelve Immortal Sects did this partly out of fear of others gaining the upper hand, and partly to train their disciples.

Most of the immortal sects sent their young disciples who had reached the Qi Refining Perfection stage.

Among them are several candidates for sect leader, such as Wei Qiuling and Li Heshan.

If nothing unexpected happens, these disciples will soon break through to the Nascent Soul Realm and become the backbone of the sect.

But now, apart from Li Heshan and a few others who left early, the nearly one hundred disciples from the other ten immortal sects are probably all in grave danger.

"We owe it all to our senior sister this time, otherwise we..."

Several disciples from Luoxia Mountain quickly bowed to Wei Qiuling.

But before they could finish speaking, a terrifying dragon roar suddenly resounded through the sky from the depths of Hidden Dragon Mountain in the distance!
The next moment, the dark sky seemed like an uncontrollable net, and a torrential downpour suddenly began!

Everything around was quickly obscured by the water mist.

Wei Qiuling and the others disregarded everything else and hurriedly hid in the makeshift tents, gazing in the direction of Hidden Dragon Mountain.

Amidst the vast天地 (heaven and earth), the deep roar of the dragon echoed once more!

Immediately afterwards, the group seemed to see a huge black shadow rise into the sky from Hidden Dragon Mountain and fly towards the sky filled with dark clouds above!
In an instant, the gloomy and terrifying sky seemed to explode as if a drop of water had been poured into a pot of hot oil!

Countless dense bolts of lightning darted rapidly among the dark clouds!
A massive amount of terrifying lightning power rapidly converged towards the clouds atop Hidden Dragon Mountain.

"Surviving the tribulation..."

Wei Qiuling's pretty face showed surprise, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

She had read in the sect's ancient texts a description of the tribulations that Golden Core cultivators would encounter when breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage. The scene described in the book was remarkably similar to the one before her eyes.

Recalling what seemed like something rushing into the dark clouds just now, a terrifying thought instantly flashed through Wei Qiuling's mind!

What Hundred Beasts Mountain has been plotting for so long might not be the corpse of a dragon at all, but a living dragon!

The moment this thought popped into her head, she was startled!

Let alone Yangnao, no one in the entire Danzhou could have imagined that such a place, so lacking in spiritual energy, would hide such a terrifying dragon!
As Wei Qiuling was stunned, she suddenly noticed an extremely domineering divine sense sweeping over her head!
When her body was swept by this divine sense, goosebumps instantly appeared on her arms!

What terrifying divine consciousness!

Wei Qiuling felt as if she had just been thrown into a ten-thousand-year-old ice cellar.

Even the slightest hint of killing intent from the owner of that divine consciousness would be enough to obliterate her soul with just a single thought!

Fortunately, she wasn't the other party's target at all.

When Wei Qiuling came to her senses, the torrential rain was still falling, but the thunder in the distance had clearly weakened considerably.

The oppressive atmosphere in the clouds overhead seemed to be slowly dissipating.

Based on the divine sense she had previously perceived, she realized that the mysterious dragon had most likely successfully transcended its tribulation.

Jiaolong (蛟) are also a type of demonic beast. Having survived this tribulation, it is unknown what level they have reached.

As Wei Qiuling pondered, the rain outside the tent gradually subsided.

Yu Jin came to the tent and looked at the misty Hidden Dragon Mountain, saying, "Senior Sister, it seems like everything is over."

"Should we go take a look now? Maybe we can find something cheap."

After a moment's thought, Wei Qiuling nodded.

The Jiao has the nature of a dragon and is fond of collecting treasures.

Now that the dragon has transcended its tribulation and departed, who knows if there really were some good things left behind in the place where it originally hid.

The items collected by such terrifying beings, even the most insignificant ones, could greatly increase the strength of Luoxia Mountain.

The group of people left the tent and flew towards Yinlong Mountain in the light rain.

Blackwater Pond.

Inside the Blackwater Pavilion, Shen Yuan and his three sons sat together with Lu Zhiyuan.

Although Crane County and Blackwater Pool are far apart, the commotion before was so great that not only Shen Yuan and his group, who were far away at Blackwater Pool, could probably feel the terror of the thunder and hear the shocking dragon roar throughout half of Yu Kingdom.

"This world is about to change."

Lu Zhiyuan spoke first, his voice carrying a faint sense of heaviness.

What are your thoughts, Master?

Shen Yuan pondered for a moment before speaking.

Lu Zhiyuan shook his head slightly: "Even I can't see it very clearly, but a dragon has cultivated for a thousand years and transformed into a dragon by walking on water."

"This land of Yu Kingdom will one day be a place where hidden dragons emerge."

"As a cultivator of the immortal path, Brother Shen should be able to sense some changes happening around him."

Shen Yuan nodded slightly.

He could indeed feel that the spiritual energy in the surrounding air had become more active and more concentrated.

He even suspected that before long, spiritual energy would gradually appear in other places outside the Blackwater Pool.

By then, the saying that "Yangnao is a land lacking in spiritual energy" may no longer exist.

"Father, should we make some preparations in advance?"

Shen Wenxing asked.

As a steward of the Ascension Pavilion, he knew the movements of some immortal sects and could guess what Li Heshan and other immortals were plotting when they gathered in He County.

Now that such a dramatic change has occurred in Crane County, it's unclear what the immortal sects will do next.

Should we prepare in advance?

Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said, "Father, I remember you said that there are many spiritual seeds in the Ascension Pavilion, including quite a few seeds of spiritual rice."

"Tomorrow, take the money and buy back all the seeds of the spirit rice. Also, buy as many of the remaining spirit medicine and spirit fruit seeds as possible."

Judging from the current situation, it may not be long before most parts of Yangnao will gradually recover.

At that time, the surrounding land and farmland will most likely become blessed lands suitable for the growth of spiritual seeds.

By acquiring those spirit seeds in advance, the Shen family might be able to gain an advantage in this upheaval.

"Are you buying them all?"

"That would cost a lot of money."

Shen Wenxing hesitated for a moment before speaking.

The spiritual seeds in the Ascension Pavilion are quite valuable, especially the seeds of some spiritual fruits and herbs, which are sold by the seed. The Shen family has accumulated some money in recent years, but he still feels it is somewhat unreliable to spend it all on spiritual seeds.

"It's alright, worldly wealth is easy to earn."

"But this opportunity to advance in cultivation is not so easy to obtain."

“If the money at home is not enough, go to Yunshui Town and ask Wenping for some more. Just say that your father asked you to take it.”

Shen Wenxing didn't say anything more and immediately got up to prepare for the matter.

"Take this with you."

Shen Yuan called out to him and tossed his storage bag over.

Upon seeing this, Shen Wenxing's eyes lit up.

He knew the purpose and how to use this thing; having a storage bag would be much more convenient.

"Brother Shen, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."

"If there is anything I can do to help you, just let Anu come to me."

Lu Zhiyuan stood up, nodded slightly in greeting, and prepared to leave.

Shen Yuan escorted him to the door, and after watching him walk away, he returned to the pavilion.

Looking at the two brothers, Shen Wen'an and Shen Wenyan, in front of him, he pondered for a moment and slowly walked to the third floor of the Blackwater Pavilion.

A moment later, he came downstairs carrying the bronze pot that could gather spiritual energy.

The copper pot was gathering spiritual energy too slowly, and there were less than ten drops of spiritual liquid left in the pot. He had been reluctant to use it before.

But now that the world has changed drastically again, he can no longer care about these things.

We plan to improve our own strength first.
